Kyle was an integral member of last week’s B Grade Pennant winners and the week before won the stableford trophy for the Branxton open, so he is in “great fettle” at the moment. Runner up was Matthew Killick, who can feel a little unlucky as he parred the course for his 43 pts, his best ever score around the tight Branxton circuit.
Russell Gogerly, another member of the victorious B grade pennant team, finished third with 38 pts which included a nearest the pin on the 2nd hole.
Neil Jordan won B Grade with 38 pts, a welcome return to form for this long term member.
Club Captain, Murray Johanson finished runner up with 35 pts with local veteran Mick Armstrong third with his 33 pts.
Steve Primmer won C Grade with his 38 pts, which was the best “Handiskins” score of the day, ensuring he also won a round of golf around beautiful Hamilton Island. This concept, introduced last year, has 5 qualifying rounds.
The best three (3) out of five (5) rounds aggregated will determine the four (4) qualifiers for the final. Therefore it may not be necessary to play in all five (5) rounds to qualify.
The four qualifiers play a “skins format” for $1200 worth of prizes. Last year’s finalists were Barry McDonald, Gary Walsh, Barney Ward and Mick Lutovac.
Runner up in C Grade was local legend Lennie Porter with 37 pts with Board Member Eddie Neale third with his 36 pts.
